"My leadership journey began long before I had a title—shaped by moments of service in the USMC, on the soccer pitch, and in communities that needed someone to step up. I lead by sharing ownership, amplifying others, and staying accountable to something greater than myself. Wellspring Prep is a place where that purpose continues—honoring those who came before by building on the legacy they left."
- Israel Ausua, Principal at Wellspring Prep
